I have one customer which require such thing too

The only solution is to use Maildir and while deliver with procmail, add
a "X-Delivery-Date:" header and then run a cronjob once  per  day  which
check the "X-Delivery-Date:" Header and remove the message if older then
10 days.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
